new football season 2007/8

quote:

Sorry I spelt Liverpool wrong there

I spotted that - it's not spelt A-r-s-e-n-a-l.

I think Chelsea will both and then AG will be sacked as he messed up in the Carling Cup, which was of course the big prize.

Me too. Chelsea to win both and AF to be sacked and turn up as manager of Man City next season.

...Just thought Scotty would like to know that Jet junior took part in a football tournament in Mablethorpe over the weekend ....a good time was had by all ...to top it off guess who shook hands with all the players and presented every player with a memento of the week-end ...............

......Sir Geoff Hurst!

Cue my good self ranting on to Jet junior and all his team-mates (Fishburn Boys under 11's) about THAT hat trick and sundry other Geoff facts - gawd you do feel old when you realise many of the lads had never heard of him!

..Of course I "forgot" to mention his SIX goals against us at Upton park in 68'!

It's nice to be in the presence of a genuine hero occasionally!

quote:

Sir Geoff Hurst!

A first class gentleman.

quote:

So what do folk reckon - Man Utd for the League and Chelski for the Champions League?

Although I like the first bit, the second part would mean a very depressing journey back from Moscow.

I'm really not convinced that United beating Wigan is nailed on - although I will be cheering very loudly for it.

I will second that.
Jet,
How old is little Jet?
Is he any good?
Stuart

....Little jet (Luke) is 11 and he's a canny player ...he did train with Middlesbrough's kids academy for a year or so when he was 9 but has put a bit of weight on since then (like his father!) and converted to a left back from a centre forward ...he is a naturally left footed player which even in under 11 leagues is fairly unusual ....I get as much of a buzz (or more) watching him and his team play as I do watching my beloved mackems.

OK he isn't going to play in the Premier League but he may play at some level professionally eventually but it's really too early to tell.

SIR GEOFF,
living legend down our way and STILL the only player to score a world cup final hat trick !
perfect gent as is sir TREV.

One point at home to the Toon Army today will see Everton back in the UEFA Cup next season. In my totally unbiased opinion (ahem!) I think Moyes has done a fantastic job and we deserve it, although the team has fallen a bit by the wayside recently. But just in case we do slip up.........Come On You Hammers!

What happened to Man City today?

Congratulations to United.

Commiserations to Reading and Birmingham.

Congratulations to Fulham

Congratulations to Everton

Looking forward to welcoming back Derby, Birmingham and Reading to the Championship, seems like they'd hardly left and they're back.

Thanks Scotty - you guys are just too kind. BTW, I've always admired your honesty and knowledge of the Premiership!

Mark

MARK,
Yeah the premiership stinks dont it !!
so much so that we are considering getting out of it next season.
regards, scotty

I can't help thinking that the Blues and the Royals are back in the right league, sadly.

I say this as a long standing Reading follower from back in the 4th division days of the late '70's.

Yep it aint nice going down but you have to look at the whole picture and over the length of the season derby reading and brum deserved to be relegated the real problem is money and losing around £20million a season due to relagation is where the real hurt is. just to put things into perspective chelski have just bought a portuguese defender for £16.2million !

we just werent good enough stuart and we would have only shown ourselves up again even if we did qualify.

good luck to the gers tonite !

Oh shit!

Bristol City vs Hull City - eh

I'm betting on City to make it to the Premier League.
